There has been a lot of odd behavior from this box in general, random resets, inability to rewind live TV (it always skips back to live), etc. And as I noted, NONE of my OTA HD recording are watchable.

There is never a signal issues when watching live TV. These symptoms only appear on HD OTA recordings, and it affects all of them. Some are worse than others. As you noted, no satellite recordings (HD or SD) are ever affected by this. I have tried resetting the box, adjusting the...

Would these recordings be viewable on a new VIP722?

I have a VIP 722 and when playing back all HD OTA recordings they end up scrambled or skip around, making them unwatchable. Watching them live is fine, no issues. All OTAs have signal strength of at least 85%. Satellite recordings exhibit no issues. Is there any way to avoid this or make...

I have done this already. There is no evidence anyone is controlling it in that way. The recording did all seem to be locals.

It is connected via broadband. This is intriguing to me. How would someone be able to access my box that way?

In the past 2 weeks we have noticed shows recording that we never set up to record and associated daily timers to go with them. We are sure it is not a shared RF frequency issue either as we have changed it to not conflict with our neighbors and we have not seen any phantom channel changing or...

For some reason, the captions are not displaying on my HD set (via component) with my 722. They show up just fine on the 2nd TV which is an SDTV. Has this happened to anyone else? I have reset all the caption settings to no avail.

UPDATE: I talked again to a tech and tried to tell them I needed to be pointed to 129 instead of 61.5, and they said they would not do it. Straight up. He offered to send a tech out to "check things out" but explicitly said there would be no adjustment of the dish(es). It's very...

I will do the check switch when I have a moment, but I know I am not pointed at 129.

I have 2 dishes, so apparently I don't have a 1000 (more sleuthing with my buddy). Is there any reason I did not get a 1000? This install was only 16 days ago. My friend I have been working with said I would have the correct satellites (ie 129 instead of 61.5) if a 1000 had been installed...

I have some new info thanks to some help from a buddy. I am not getting 129, but instead 61.5. My invoice was not marked with the model as you might expect. In theory, to make a change, does this require an installer to come out?

I won't be able to see it, unfortunately. I can check the invoice to see if that has it.

This technospeak is admittedly beyond me. Do I have any recourse? I can't see keeping Dish if I don't have EPG info for the big 4 networks (over 75% of my TV watching).

I'm not sure some of you read what I wrote- I AM paying for Cincinnati locals through Dish. My friend is too and gets program guide info for Dayton. I've seen it with my own eyes.

I have posted in a few other threads my local HD EPG issues with the 722- the dreaded "Digital Service" and nothing else. I live in the Cincinnati DMA, but only get local OTA HD from Dayton because of my location. It's Fairfield which is somewhere in between the 2 cities, albeit slightly closer...

All I know is it is driving me nuts that I only see Digital Service on my EPG.

I am in the same boat- no EPG info for my locals. I have a 722 and am paying for Cincinanti Locals, but only get Dayton channels OTA. I have done the check switch trick and downloaded the guide manually. I am going to rescan the locals to see if that helps. This has beeen going on for...

Claude, I understand that. I actually have cause to get out of my 18 month contract- not only did I sign up for DVR advantage, I also used a ClubDish certificate form a friend. I called this morning and they said they had no record of that despite me punching in the code when I signed up...

Thanks for the info. With "real" fall show starting soon I agree hopefully it will be soon.

I'm too cheap to dump it now, so I'll live with it. I just need to learn it and move on. :) It seems scary to move to something you may not like and know you have to live with it for a while though. If you have any power tips, I'd appreciate them.

Wow, only 3 days? That's surprising. Thanks for the information. It is not a problem per se with the 722- I just don't like using it (and neither does my wife). However, it looks like I am in it for the long haul. I can get used to it, but it'll take some time. I might as well ask...

I had Dish set up last week and have some usability issues with the 722- I simply do not like it at all and find it needlessly complicated. I don't want to make a jerk reaction but I am considering dumping it and want to know what my options are. Does anyone know what Dish's return policy is...
